Day 21 of the DavidsTea herbal advent calendar. I am not a huge fan of this one. I guess the name is because of the butterfly pea flower making it purplish-blue? It is that pretty color, and if I recall correctly this was initially released a few years ago when butterfly pea flower was very trendy. Which is fine and fun. But the flavor is a little eh. First off, it varies depending on what pieces from the blend you can actually get into the steeper. So the first time I made this, I got a strong berry flavor. But the second time, because I didn’t get a berry into the steeper, the brew tasted more of coconut than berry. The result is that it doesn’t feel super balanced or particularly interesting, more just gimmicky. It’s ok enough that I’ll finish off the little sample, but I have no desire to ever drink it again.
Adventaggedon Day 21: Tea 3/8
Cold Brew!
Not my favourite tea in the world but it ended up meshing really well with my lunch today which was a pleasant surprise. It’s very, very sweet with a kind of general berry/blue raspberry type of flavour but it was sort of just the right amount of sweentess and juicy flavour to cut through all of the spice from my very onion and chili heavy nachos from lunch. Anything subtler than this probably would have been drowned out by the spice so, yeah – it was good!
Friendly reminder that I do not numerically rate DAVIDsTEA blends as I’m currently employed there and it would be an obvious conflict of interest. Any blends you see with numerical ratings were rated prior to my employment there. These reviews are a reflection of my personal thoughts and feelings regarding the teas, and not the company’s.
